ARC Review: The Trouble with Trevor by Cin Forrester

From the blurb:

Like most other guys his
age, Trevor Nash just wants to escape his small town, go to college and
get laid. It’s not his fault his parents are freaked out because his
older brother went to college and binge drank himself to death. Trevor’s
not going to do that, but they won’t let him go unless he stays with
his godfather, Marine vet Grady McKinnon.

Grady’s come to
appreciate a quiet life in Boston since an IED tore off his foot and
forced his discharge, but he owes his oldest friend a lot. He agrees to
the babysitting, provided Trevor sticks to a few basic rules.

It’s
been five years since Trevor’s seen Grady, a long time in a teen’s
life. Now Trevor is stunned to find out his muscled temporary guardian
is a walking wet dream. Trevor has a new plan: get Grady’s attention, no
matter how many rules he has to break to do it.

Heather's rating:

Warning: This is spanking erotica, not a full romance. If you are looking for a monogamous romance story and are kink-adverse, don't try this one.

Everyone has certain tropes that turn their crank. Within the BDSM realm, I'm pretty picky. I'm not much into whips and blindfolds and feathers and chains or much of what most people enjoy in BDSM. No, my BDSM kinks are much... narrower. Other than my favorite kink of humiliation, I'm a spanking kind of girl, and I LOVE a domestic discipline story.

The Trouble with Trevor feels like the first part of a serial story. It is a piece of a larger, continuing plot-line about a 17 year-old college student and his older, retired military godfather, Grady. It's the typical brat/sir type story (that I ADORE), but the pair doesn't have a sexual relationship yet. It is strictly spanking, though it evolves to something more towards the end.

That isn't to say that there isn't sex in the story, because there is, but it is with other people. Also, if sex without condoms bothers you, then you might want to stay away. I'm not a fan of that, in general, but if both adults are consenting and know the risks, I can bend.

Those familiar with domestic discipline stories will know the drill, but just be aware that this story ends feeling unfinished because it goes right into the next in the series. I'm looking forward to the author taking Grady and Trevor's dynamic even further, and for some more kink-a-licious action in the future!
